My Seti score is the 4th one down. Early in the morning on 10 December 2000 I moved off of the 5000 WU's page.

Personal 10000 Club (10.8 KB)

This is a screen capture of my personal statistics from Seti@Home's Berkeley web page. I included it this time so that I can really identify who I am. I will include a screen capture of the 10000 Club web page if I make it. The web page explicitly tells you that because of the complexity of the system not everyone makes it on to this page. The time I passed this Milestone was "Thu Jan 3 20:49:45 2002 UTC". I was sitting at my graphics computer and brought up my personal statistics and while I watched the 10,000th result was uploaded. The computer that turned in the 10,000th result was Topaz my AMD 900 Mhz Athlon Thunderbird. The odds were really in favor of Coral or Opal turning in this milestone event because they are AMD 1600+ XP's and they process a wu in 12-15K seconds. Topaz, on the other hand, required 26,180.34 seconds. The 10000th result included a gaussian with a peak of 2.3748, max power of 6.266 and a chi-square of 8.795. This is not a ET call home message but the chi-square was larger than I normally see.

On the bottom of the image, you can see the certificates that I can print. The largest one is for 5,000 wu's. The certificates lag well behind the day the milestone was achieved. For example, I had turned in well over 7,500 results when the link for 5,000 was added to my personal statistics web page.

Seti 10000 Club

The achievement finally showed up on Berkeley's 10000 club web site. I am generating about 7 wu's per update of the web page. Berkeley updates the 10000 club list approximately every 6 hours. One thing you have to understand and that is the time to process a wu are very close for both milestones; however, the Seti program runs 2x longer now than it did when I passed through 5000 wu's.

25000 WUs

I finally achieved 25,000 wu's on 25 December 2003 at 13:41:39 UTC (5:41:39 PST).
